Whether you watched it live or saw the various post online about Katy Perry’s Saturday Night Live performance with Migos something just seemed off. It was just a performance full of awkwardness and the awkwardness seems to be carrying on even after the performance is finished. Now it is being said that Migos refused to perform with Drag Queens for their set. According to Uproxx many of the Drag Queens that were suppose to perform for both “Swish Swish” & “Bon Appetit” are upset that they weren’t able to perform for the second number due to Migos feeling uncomfortable performing along side of them.
Allegedly here’s what a few of the Drag Queens had to say:
Queen #1: “I was one of the performers on that table with them the whole time, during the rehearsal for 3 days. On the day of the filming, when I got there, I was told to leave. I wasn’t on the set at the time, but we were asking what happened. They said it was because Migos doesn’t feel comfortable with having drag queens there.”
Queen #2: “I heard it from the stylist. They changed the queens out in the Bon Appétit number, and they didn’t seem too thrilled during rehearsal either, with us there.”
Queen #3: “I work at SNL and the rumors are true! Migos held up rehearsal because they ‘weren’t comfortable with the drag queens’ being there. There were initially more drag queens on the set for that song, but after Migos threw a fit, Katy Perry’s team removed some of the queens from the performance. Additionally, Katy Perry didn’t invite any of the queens to the afterparty… So, none of them were allowed in.”
There still no word on how true this is or not, but as far as society has come on these type of matter it’s clear that Hip-Hop is just not there yet.
